Le demi d’ouverture du XV de France Romain Ntamack, exclu lors de la première journée du Tournoi des six nations, sera finalement suspendu contre l’Italie le 23 février, a-t-on appris lundi de source proche de l’équipe de France.

Sa sanction pour un plaquage dangereux face au pays de Galles le 31 janvier couvrira bien le déplacement à Rome, alors que le staff du XV de France comptait sur une réduction de sa sanction, qui l’a déjà privé du match en Angleterre lors de la deuxième journée (défaite 26-25).

Auditionné le 5 février par la commission de discipline du Tournoi, Ntamack avait écopé d’une suspension de trois semaines.

Mais l’ouvreur de 25 ans (38 sélections) avait pu la réduire à deux semaines en suivant un stage mis en place par World Rugby pour lutter contre les risques de plaquages à la tête.

Le staff du XV de France l’avait alors laissé hors des joueurs “protégés” – un statut qui leur interdit de prendre part à la journée de Top 14 programmée à la fin de la semaine – afin de lui permettre de purger la fin de sa suspension lors du déplacement de Toulouse à Clermont dimanche prochain.

Mais les officiels de l’instance organisatrice du Tournoi ont considéré que Ntamack, faisant partie des joueurs “premium” de la sélection française, n’était pas initialement amené à disputer ce match de championnat.

Le demi d’ouverture du Stade Toulousain ne sera donc requalifié qu’à partir du 24 février, au lendemain du déplacement à Rome.

Tenu éloigné de l’équipe de France pendant un an et demi par des blessures successives, Ntamack avait fait son retour en Bleu lors de la victoire contre les Gallois en ouverture du Tournoi (43-0) mais avait quitté ses partenaires après 71 minutes de jeu en raison d’un plaquage dangereux sur l’ouvreur Ben Thomas.

Le Bordelo-Béglais Matthieu Jalibert a pris sa place à l’ouverture contre l’Angleterre (26-25), et fait partie des 19 joueurs “protégés” par le staff du XV de France.

Romain Ntamack pourrait rejouer avec Toulouse lors de la 18e journée contre Vannes, le 1er mars, ou une semaine plus tard, lors d’un déplacement crucial en Irlande pour la quatrième journée du Tournoi, le 8 mars.

Crusaders rookie earns 'other than Dupont' praise from All Blacks star

My father, a retired schoolteacher, has always been cautious with his money. He worked hard his entire life to build a modest retirement fund and trusted that it would support him in his golden years. So, when he told me about an “exclusive” investment opportunity in cryptocurrency that promised high returns, I was immediately suspicious. But he was convinced it was legitimate—after all, the website looked professional, and the salesperson had been so persuasive over the phone. Despite my warnings, he invested 15,000 USD of his savings. At first, everything seemed fine. He received regular updates and saw “profits” reflected in his online account. But when he tried to withdraw some money, the website suddenly went offline, and the phone number was disconnected. My father was devastated. He had been scammed, and his hard-earned savings were gone. I knew I had to act quickly. I reached out to TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY, a company I had read about online that specialized in tracing online fraud. I explained the situation, providing them with all the details: the fake website, the transaction records, and even the emails from the scammer. The team at TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY was incredibly understanding and assured me they would do everything possible to help. Using their expertise in digital forensics, they traced the scammer’s digital footprint and identified the offshore account where the money had been transferred. They worked tirelessly with international authorities to freeze the account and recover the funds. Within a few weeks, they successfully returned the 15,000 USD to my father. The relief on his face was indescribable. Not only had TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY restored his savings, but they had also given him peace of mind. They even took the time to educate him on how to spot investment scams in the future, empowering him to protect himself. This brought our family closer together. My father now understands the importance of skepticism and due diligence, and I’m grateful to TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY for their incredible work. They didn’t just recover money, they restored my father’s faith in justice and gave him a second chance to enjoy his retirement.EMAIL..Techcybersforcerecovery(@)cyberservices(.)comWHATSAPP... + 1.5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.9.7

Kyren Taumoefolau All Blacks stance splits opinions on eligibility

MP are a NZ side through and through, NZ is even having to pay for it.

Yes they caved to public demand, I bet it accomplished a lot of internal goals. They could have left it to the other groups, but I’m of the belief that they weren’t showing the capability to make it work as being a good reason for NZR to jump in and do it. I think it’s actually funded 50/50 between NZR and WR though.

(when nothing was stopping a pi player playing for any side in Super Rugby)

Neither is that fact true. Only 3 non NZ players are allowed in each squad.


I see you also need to learn what the term poach means - take or acquire in an unfair or clandestine way. - Moana have more slots for non eligible players (and you have seen many return to an NZ franchise) so players are largely making their own choice without any outside coercion ala Julian Savea.

Not one of these Kiwis and Aussies would go live in the Islands to satisfy any criteria, and I’d say most of them have hardly ever set foot in the islands, outside of a holiday.

Another inaccurate statement. Take Mo’unga’s nephew Armstrong-Ravula, if he is not eligible via ancestry in a couple of generations time, he will be eligible because he plays his rugby there (even if he’s only their for rugby and not living there), that is a recent change made by World Rugby to better reflect examples like Fabian Holland and Fakatava.

It’s becoming the jump-ship/zero loyalty joke that international League is.

Look I understand you’re reason to cry and make an example at any opportunity, but you don’t really need to anymore, other recent changes made by WR are basically going to stop the Ireland situation, and time (perhaps no more than a decade) will fix the rest.
